Getting Started

This tutorial provides a gentle introduction to pDynamo by using some of the simpler examples in the book/examples
subdirectory of the pDynamo distribution. The calculations that are
performed here concern small molecular systems in vacuum
only. Simulations of solvated molecules and other
condensed-phase systems are treated in other tutorials. Readers wanting a
more in-depth discussion of the example programs and the simulation
algorithms that they employ should refer to the second edition of the Dynamo book.

The logical order in which to follow the items in this tutorial is given in the list below.
